Oppn stalled Parl to sidestep discussion on political funding:

Shahjahanpur, Dec 17 (PTI) BJP president Amit Shah today hit out at the opposition for opposing demonetisation and accused them of stalling all business in the winter session of Parliament just to sidestep discussion on funding of political parties.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi favoured discussion and change in fund raising process of political parties during the all-party meeting at the beginning of winter session and said all elections from Panchayat to Parliament should be held on the same day," Shah said.

"But the opposition did not allow a discussion in the entire winter session. They do not have any intention of wiping out blackmoney from politics. Modiji has put forward a view, and I want to appeal to leaders of all opposition parties that and we should accept discussion on it to bring probity in politics," he said at his partys Parivartan rally here

Continuing his attack on parties opposing demonetisation, Shah said only those whose "billions have been reduced to trash" are feeling the pain after the measure.

"Have you seen the faces of Mamata (Banerjee) and Mayawati...their faces have lost glow, they have started looking 10 years older in a day, he said.
